Chapter 126: Do you also know how to recite poetry?

About winter.

About drifting snow.

It has different definitions in different people’s eyes.

Talents for the wind and snow to create poetry, noble families see snow as a good omen, and some people love the snow scene, in the snowflakes flying moments to drink tea and enjoy the snow.

But for the people on the borderline, for these displaced people who have lost their homes.

Snow, meaning torture.

The world is silent, all the sounds are covered by the wind and snow, buried layer after layer, and the only thing that can be heard in the ears is the whistling wind that freezes the body and makes it shiver.

The thin clothing, thin body, can only rely on the way to warm up the group, hard to resist the cold.

Light snowflakes slowly pile up.

Gradually, it develops a thickness that cannot be ignored.

The only good news was that under the leadership of Department Xu and Wu Yingxue, the group of stragglers was already getting closer to the entrance of the passageway, and would be able to arrive tomorrow without any problems.

Unsurprisingly, tonight is the final torture.

The stragglers shivered and hugged each other tightly, wrapping their cold bodies in the fur and scales of dead demons or whatever they could find.

In the midst of this howling blizzard.

The only ones who managed to remain unharmed were the Xu lineage and Wu Yingxue, as well as individual martial artists with qi and blood protection.

“Sir, do you still know how to heal?”

“A little bit, not much.”

“But you said earlier that Great Qian is sick, everyone is sick, and you can cure that, isn’t it hard to cure a disease like that?”

“It’s not hard, just make those who are full eat less and those who are hungry eat more and the disease will go away on its own.”

A small campfire blossomed into a shimmering light.

With its back to the boulder, the firelight could not be extinguished by the cold wind, and it was also protected by the astral energy of the Xu system, which was able to provide precious light at night.

The Xu system sat on the left side and the girl on the right.

The two were the strongest people present.

While guarding the campfire and chatting, you are actually guarding against danger.

After listening to Xu’s answer to the question of “healing”, the girl pondered, thinking that such reasoning was very simple, yet inexplicably full of depth.

“Well …… no less sir, what you say just makes sense.”

“Unlike me, I can’t do anything.”

The young girl sighed suddenly.

Arms propped up behind her, a lost look.

The Xu system smiled, reached out from beside the campfire, took down a piece of burnt and crispy demon meat, and threw it into his mouth to chew on it slowly.

This is his dinner today.

Dry choking, tasteless, rough and hard to chew.

But that’s the only ration for tonight.

“It’s fine,” Xu System’s throat surged as he swallowed the chewed demon jerky, then looked at Wu Yingxue.

“Yingxue, you have your strengths, they don’t have to be the same as mine.”

“But I …… can’t do anything but practice martial arts.”

“It can’t be, think again.”

The campfire seemed both bright and tiny on the bleak night, coloring the young girl’s hair with two strands of red.

The Xu system encouraged the young girl in a warm voice.

So the young girl frowned in thought and said in a tentative tone, “Besides practicing martial arts, I might …… also be able to chant poetry?”

Xu system: “?”

Now it’s the opposite, the Xu system won’t.

It wasn’t that he looked down on Wu Ying Xue, it was really that temperament that couldn’t be associated with the word chanting poetry at all.

Could it be that real people don’t show their faces?

Holding a rigorous attitude, Department Xu decided to listen to Wu Ying Xue’s level of poetry chanting first.

“Huh? You want to hear it?”

“This, me, it.”

“That, or forget it ……”

Sparks erupted and dead branches burned.

Everything around them became shadowed under the illumination of that flame, further emphasizing, the girl’s hand-wringing and embarrassment.

But she was bold enough to eventually work up the courage to recite the poem:

“O horse, you have four legs!”

“Man, there are two thighs!”

“I, I ……”

The volume suddenly dropped sharply.

The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became quiet.

Even the sounds of the wind, the snow, and the fire became silent, leaving that awkwardness alone in place.

A few moments later.

The two silently jumped to another topic.

Whether it was the Xu system or Wu Ying Xue, they all coincidentally ignored the matter of chanting poetry.

After all, that level was more or less ahead of its time.

……

Next time.

The cold wind was still cold, but it was all blocked by the qi and blood, unable to invade the body.

The invisible astral aura spreads around the periphery, providing a little shelter for the stragglers.

Honestly.

Such a subtle feeling.

A world of ice and snow, where it is clear that the wind is blowing and snowing all the time, but then there is a trance of time standing still because of the prolonged repetition of the scenery.

“It’s going to be a tough winter ……”

System Xu chewed on the demonic meat silently, thinking about his next plan in his mind.

At the same time.

He would also explain some, about the experience of the acquired reversing the innate, in order to provide it to the young girl as a reference.

The young girl had been in the Blood Changing Realm for quite a long time, and was just lacking a bit of insignificant, yet crucial timing.

Maybe it will break through in battle.

Or maybe it will be a wake up breakthrough.

She was only one step away from being an innate martial artist.

“This is for you,” System Xu took out two bottles of True Qi Pills.

That was the rent that the young girl had once paid, and Xu System had intended to use it up himself, but the accident had come too soon, and he had broken through to the innate realm earlier than expected.

Rightfully so, this kind of elixir used to break through the innate was no longer applicable to the Xu system.

Just right for Wu Ying Xue to use.

“Eh?”

The young girl acted surprised, she hadn’t thought at all that she, whose rent was still being paid in installments, would be able to receive an elixir from the Xu system in reverse.

“Are you serious?”

She inquired hesitantly.

“Well, take it.”

Holding the potion bottle in his hand, Xu System reached out and swept it past the campfire, placing it in the young girl’s hand.

“…… Thanks.”

After being stunned for a moment, Wu Ying Xue quickly thanked Department Xu.

She’s not a person with a pretentious personality.

Knowing that his current self, he really needed the assistance of the True Qi Pill as a way to step into the Innate Realm as early as possible.

“Mister is such a nice guy,” she commented with such a smile about the Xu system.

And what a big fool, too.

Fools who always look out for others.

The young girl lowered her head and looked at the potion bottle in her hand.

The body of the bottle is smooth, typically narrow at the top and wide at the bottom in a shape that maps out other things in the dim light of the campfire.

There was the girl’s own face, a dancing and rising flame, and a white layer of thick snow.

As well as, the blurry figure of the man directly across the street.

All of it.

All twisted and mixed with the throbbing of the campfire.

“It’s so nice ……”

A soft voice rang out, complimenting something.

The night before you arrived at the trailhead, you talked to Wu Yingxue in the middle of the night.

[You were shocked to learn that the maiden could recite poetry.]

[You heard the maiden’s poem and silently stopped talking about it]

[Considering the future battles, and the threat of demonic waves, you give the unwanted True Qi Pills to the young girl to help her break through the innate realm]

“Wu Ying Xue seems to be very happy.

[At night, she carried two bottles of pills in her pocket and went to sleep holding the dragon lance, refusing to let go for a moment]

[When she wakes up the next day, her level of joy has not diminished one iota, and she always smiles brightly when calling out to you, following you around at all times, claiming to protect you, even though you don’t really need the girl’s protection.]

[Until you reach the trailhead]

[It was the gruesome sight that made the maiden withdraw her smile a little]
